Avery jumped over 15 hurdles. If these hurdles are 60% of the hurdles in the race, how many hurdles are there in all?

2 answers:

6 0

You could set up a proportion to figure out the anwer. 15 hurdles/60%=X hurdles/100%. Cross multiply, 1500=60x. Divide by 60, 25=X=total amount of hurdles. Hope this helps!

40/100*15

cancel 100 and 15

40/20*3

120/20

6 hurdles is 40%

6+15=21 hurdles

there are 21 hurdles.

What is the function graphed below? O y= x + 0.5 O y= 2 x + 0.5 O y=x O y=(0.5)

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

A. y= x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that:

y- intercept is b = 0.5, point (0, 0.5)
Rate of change is m = 1 as each next value of y is greater by 1.

The function is:

y = mx + b
y = x + 0.5

Correct choice is A

Write an exponential growth function to model the situation. A population of 422,000 increases by 12% each year.

Naya [18.7K]

This is just like working with money in a bank account
that's earning 12% interest.

If the population is 422,000 today, and
' n ' is the number of years after today,
then

Population = 422,000 (1.12)ⁿ .
